It’s Dumping in Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is getting hit hard with snow. The result is an amazing amount of powder turns everywhere in the basin. It truly is quite a spectacular January with only more weather in our forecast. 

With all of the fun to be had in the mountains, it makes it easy to want to go out and celebrate the spectacular surroundings. There are some great get-togethers this week that I am excited about. Here are my favorite five.

Full Moon Snowshoe Tours

Tahoe Adventure Company offers one of the best ways to get out and enjoy a stunning, serene setting framed by the glittery stars and robust moon, Full Moon Snowshoe Tours. Happening once a month, this snowshoeing expedition is an excellent outing for the entire family. Complete with rental equipment, snowshoeing lessons and guides that are trained in the natural history and astronomy of the Tahoe sky, this mini-expedition is sure to make you smile with gratitude for the beauty that surrounds you. There will be hot drinks and snacks provided, but be sure to arrive bundled up and ready for the cold. The snowshoe trip is on Thursday, January 12, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The cost is $65 per person.

Mountain Table Dinner With Orin Swift Cellars
